Anyone who's tweaked or sprained an ankle should check out this recent article in the New York Times:
After a Sprain, Don't Just Walk It Off
I've had my share of foot and ankle issues from many years of dancing, and have spent many hours in the studio strengthening and realigning them with much success. So, I was pleased to see this article discuss functional rehab, meaning not keeping off of that tweaked ankle/foot but getting on it as soon as possible so that joint doesn't loose mobility. Take a look at the article (near the end) and ask your teacher to show you some exercises to help strengthen those feet and ankles. They will thank you!
